Donovan Mitchell caps NBA All-Star challenges with dunk success

Saturday was the day most basketball fans wanted to see during the All-Star weekend.

The dunk contest, three-point contest and skills competition make up one of the most entertaining nights in all of sports and it did not disappoint at Staples Center.

It was a night of nostalgia and one of a preview as we saw Devin Booker send a message to the entire NBA.

BOOKER CAN SHOOT WITH ANYONE

Booker has quietly been one of the best scorers in the NBA in the last two years. The Phoenix Suns guard is averaging 24.2 points and 38.3 percent shooting this season, and he truly showed off his shooting by winning the three-point contest over Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors.

He did so with record numbers putting up 28 points in the final round, which is the most any player has ever put up in the final round -- including Thompson.

MITCHELL'S FINAL DUNK ALMOST WAS TOO EASY

We all know Mitchell can get up, but we might not have been sure he could get up like Vince Carter. He showed he absolutely could though and did so while wearing Carter's vintage Toronto Raptors jersey.
